Lionel Messi scored against Peru to break the old record of former Barcelona teammate Luis Suarez in the CONMEBOL FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner set a new record by becoming the club's all-time leading goalscorer. With a total of 31 goals, more than Suarez, who has only 29 goals.

The 36-year-old's first goal came in the 32nd minute from Enzo Fernandes, who created a chance, and 10 minutes later he added another goal, assisted by Julian Alvarez. What is special is that World Cup winners Argentina are in control of winning the first four matches of their qualifying campaign and have not conceded a single goal, despite the absence of Messi in the squad.

Messi started playing and scored in the opening game against Ecuador on September 7, but missed the Bolivian national team due to injury. But then he reappeared last Thursday and played 37 minutes, beating Paraguay and recently earning two. More goals for Peru and a new record over his old friend
